Both days will start at 0800hrs Central Standard Time and run until approximately 1700hrs CST. There will be a 1 hour lunch break each day.

Cost for the course is $600. Limited to 10 students.

DAY 1
Topics covered will include (but aren't limited to):
Selection, care and maintenance of the entire system (rifle, scope, rings, mounts, ammunition, bipod, cases, etc.). This includes a comprehensive disassembly and other Armorer's tips.
Marksmanship basics
Use of optics (including adjustments and all other functions)
Use of data book
Zeroing
CCB/CHB/HFB
We’ll shoot to approximately 500 yards on Day 1.

DAY 2
Use of a mil- and MOA-based reticles for ranging unknown distance targets.
Use of hold-offs as compared to dialing dope.
We will pick up where we left off on Day 1, and continue out to 1,000 yards. I will be working with each shooter to fine tune their skills and fix any issues they have.

We will shoot in 2 relays, so one relay can learn the proper techniques that a Spotter needs to assist the Shooter. All students will shoot to 1,000 yards.

Gear list will include:
Rifle capable of 1MOA. Bolt actions and semi-automatics are both welcome
Quality optics. The following features are mandatory on the optic:
-Finger adjustable turrets with audible/tactile “clicks”, MOA or mil are fine
-Ranging reticle, mil or MOA based are both acceptable
Ammunition, 200 rounds. Ammunition must be "match grade" from a reputable manufacturer, or known handloads of equal or better accuracy
Data book w/ calculator (any calculator that multiplies and divides will work. I highly recommend the Storm Tactical modular rite in the rain databooks)
Rifle-mounted bipod, or front rest
Rear bag(s) (optional)
Shooting mat (optional)
Minimum 5 “dummy” rounds
Spotting scope (optional)
Eye and ear protection
Clothes and footwear appropriate to the weather. If it rains, we train, as long as there is no thunder/lightning.
If you are military/LE, it is preferred that you use your duty gear, body armor and other ancillary equipment that you will use on duty. Train like you fight!

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. If you plan on using a rifle other than a bolt action tactical or varmint model from Remington, Savage, Winchester, FN, Sako, Tikkea, or a custom-built rifle
and/or
a scope made by other than Nightforce, Leupold, US Optics, IOR, Schmidt & Bender, Premier Reticles, Vortex Viper PST, Bushnell Elite series or Sightron SIII please contact me so that we can discuss your system and make sure that it will meet the requirements of the course.

2. Your system must be fully assembled and sighted in with a recent 100 yard zero prior to the class. The zero must be done with the ammunition that you will be using in the class. I offer my services for free to any of my students who need assistance with any rifle or optics work, or zeroing, that they may need.

3. Ammunition must be “match grade” from a known manufacturer, or handloads that you have shot out of the rifle you are bringing to the class and are sure of their accuracy.

4. A bipod or ruck to shoot off, as well as a rear bag. For a bipod, I highly recommend the Harris BRM-S (6”-9”, notched leg, swiveling).

5. If you don't have some sort of adjustable cheekpiece, or cheekpad, I recommend one. The comb of your stock needs to be high enough that your cheek bone rests on it naturally when you have a perfect sight picture, not your jawbone or the middle of your cheek. Ask several of my former students and they'll tell you this makes a HUGE difference.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about any of your gear. I would rather sort the problems out ahead of time than have you show up at the class with gear that won't work, or that is set up wrong.

I will reiterate, I offer my services for free to students when it comes to mounting up scopes/bases/rings (including lapping the rings), weighting and texturing stocks, and any other tweaking that your system may need. I will also assist in getting your rifle zeroed prior to the class.

If you are a LEO, contact me about POST credit.

Other than confirming 100yd zeroes, all targets will be reactive steel.

Most exercises will be performed as 2-man teams. If you do not have a partner, we will pair you up with another Shooter.

We will be shooting from several different types of urban structures, using every level from the ground floor up through the roof. The different structures include different types of terrain to work with, from open fields, through scrub and brush, to wooded areas.

I am limiting the class to 12 students. The cost for the class will be $600 per student, payable by check, MO or PayPal. If you pay with PayPal you must add 3.5% to the total to cover fees.

We will shoot out to a maximum of 600yds during this course. Prior to the beginning of the class, you should have solid dope on your weapon from 100yds to at least 300yds. If you do not have access to a range to accomplish this, please contact me ASAP so that we can get you doped before the course.

Gear list:
Precision rifle (bolt or semi), in your choice of caliber, with sling. Approximate accuracy of 2MOA-3MOA (2"-3" per 100yds) will be acceptable, however I am not requiring any specific level of accuracy for the class. Run what ya brung! We will be using multiple targets, of various sizes, at the longer ranges, so you will be able to engage what you and your system are capable of. A dedicated Sniper rifle, your deer rifle, a Winchester 94 with a scope, an AK with an optic......whatever! When the day comes, you don't know what weapon you will have access to, or what will fit the task at hand best. We will use multiple sizes of targets at each distance, so all rifles/carbines will be capable.
500rds for your precision rifle
Eye/ear protection
Sling
Databook
OPTIONAL:
Shooting mat
Rear bag
Spotting scope

The first half of the day will be Handgun, with Carbine drills after lunch.

This course is unlike the classes we normally offer. Our Competency-based course consists of drills that are timed and scored. Students will be given a copy of all the drills and standards after the course. These drills can be used for practice and to gauge your individual progress over time. The Instructors will show you how to modify the drills to set attainable goals that gradually get more difficult.

The drills will work on such skill sets as drawing/presentations, reloads, use of cover, shooting while moving, multiple threat engagement, weapon transitions, and more.

Students will be given the opportunity to shoot both the Tactical Pistol Course and Tactical Carbine Course for score. Pass either of the courses and you will be awarded a Challenge Coin.

Gear list:
Handgun with holster (revolver or semi-automatic)

Plenty of water

Your particular gear is up to you; warbelts, vests, suspenders, etc. Body armor and/or helmets are welcome if you choose to wear them, as are suppressors. Your carbine needs to be sighted in and ready to go, we will not be zeroing.

Dress appropriately for the weather, whatever it will be. Comfortable attire and shoes/boots are a must. Bring plenty of water.

You can leave the range for lunch, but it is recommended that you pack a lunch and stay at the range as the location is a bit remote.

The course is limited to 20 students. Course fee is $200, to be paid in advance. We accept checks, money orders, cash and discrete PayPal (you pay the 3.5% fees). Your spot is not guaranteed until your course fee is received.

333 Butler Industrial Dr
Dallas, GA 30132

Zeroing
CCB/CHB/HFB
Use of reticle for ranging
MOA vs MRAD

DAY 2, Dec 15:
7:30am until 5:30pm
Live-fire range, Aragon GA
We will start on paper at 100yds and obtain or confirm zeroes. All other targets at other distances are reactive steel.
We will work on the fundamentals of marksmanship at 100yds and get each Shooter the individual coaching that they need for consistent accuracy.
Once that is achieved, we will engage steel targets at various distances out to 400yds.
During this range session, not only will the shooters be continuously practicing the fundamentals of marksmanship, they will be using their data books, and adjusting their scopes to compensate for changes in distance.
We will discuss and practice both dialing dope and using hold-offs.

We will shoot in relays. This not only gives the Shooters ample time for breaks, it will allow them to work with me on how to Spot and call adjustments for the Shooters.

Gear list will include:
Rifle capable of 1MOA. Bolt actions and semi-automatics are both welcome
Magnified optics. The following features are mandatory on the optic:
-Finger adjustable turrets with audible/tactile “clicks”, MOA and MRAD are both acceptable
-Ranging reticle, MOA and MRAD are both acceptable
Ammunition, 200 rounds. Ammunition must be "match grade" from a reputable manufacturer, or known handloads of equal or better accuracy
Data book w/ calculator (any calculator that multiplies and divides will work. I highly recommend the Storm Tactical modular Rite-In-The-Rain data books, but I also have free, downloadable pages I can send you to make your own)
Rifle-mounted bipod, or front rest
Rear bag(s) (optional)
Shooting mat (optional)
Minimum 5 “dummy” rounds or snap caps
Spotting scope (optional)
Eye and ear protection
Clothes and footwear appropriate to the weather. If it rains, we train, as long as there is no thunder/lightning.
If you are military/LE, it is preferred that you use your duty gear, body armor and other ancillary equipment that you will use on duty. Train like you fight!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about any of your gear. I would rather sort the problems out ahead of time than have you show up at the class with gear that won't work, or that is set up wrong.

I offer my services for free to my students when it comes to mounting up scopes/bases/rings (including lapping the rings), weighting and texturing stocks, adjusting/installing triggers, and any other tweaking that your system may need.

I have plenty of gear to loan, so don’t let a lack of equipment keep you from attending this training. This includes rifles and optics. I also have contacts that do special pricing for my students on firearms, optics, ammunition, and equipment.

If you are a LEO, contact me about POST credit.

I am limiting the course to 9 students. The cost is $350 for the entire course, payable by cash, check, money order, or PayPal (students covers the 3.5% fee). Your slot is not guaranteed until you pay for it.

I have a 2-day version of this course that I run 4 times a years in Pelham TN, where we shoot to 1,000yds. If you attend this shorter version, you are welcome to attend Day 2 of the 1,000yd class at a later date. This will pick up at 500yds and go to 1,000yds. This should help folks that want to save some money on lodgings, or don’t want to go out of town for multiple days to train.
